Enjoy exceptional service and a friendly atmosphere at Nook. It's a wonderful spot for enjoying a delicious meal while catching up with old acquaintances over lunch. Nook is located just south of the Prima County Public Library on East Congress Street. It opened in 2015 and has become a trendy eatery that serves up New American cuisine. Owners Nikki and Matt Thompson along with Todd Anderson are fellow Tucsonans who love their community. Local artists have work showcased throughout this contemporary restaurant. Nook also prides itself on serving up locally sourced food. Try the Godfather Benedict with prosciutto, arugula, poached egg hollandaise and balsamic drizzle for breakfast, or come down during lunch for a green corn tamale pie with cabbage salad. It offers take-out service and is open for breakfast and lunch during the week. This restaurant also serves brunch on Saturday and Sunday.

    Some positives and some negatives. The positive is the food…the folded egg hashes and the eggs Benedict’s are really delicious. The other positive is the low noise level compared to all the other restaurants around. You could have great conversations without yelling. Also our server was very sweet and attentive. The negatives are the slow service for the food and only QR codes for the menu which is fine for me but not for my 80 year old dad without a smart phone. He pays the bill so I try to find spots that work for him. The hostess wouldn’t seat us “until the whole party is there.” I let the hostess know my dad can’t stand for so long, and she said well there’s your table but you won’t be served for a while.. meanwhile she’s folding napkins.

    I recommend reservations if you are going for Sunday Brunch. Today was our second Sunday trying their brunch menu. Last week my husband had the Tamale pie which he totally devoured! I had the folded eggs with ham and hash browns all excellent. Today we both had the Nook special. Choice of 2 eggs, 2 strips of bacon and 2 griddle cakes with syrup. Other than my scrambled eggs needed to be cooked a tad longer it was all excellent. Next week I am deciding between the Honey Chipotle Eggs Benedict and the Banana Griddle cakes with side of their awesome thick bacon. Will report next Sunday!

    First time here but we will definitely be back! Everything was well done, food was excellent, large portions, my husband had the Tamales pie and ate every single bite! The griddle cakes looked delicious on our neighbors table, will try next time, that is if I don’t have the carnitas eggs Benedict!

    The blueberry scones are the best anywhere. The service was excellent, the food is quite ample so sharing is a good idea, but get a side of the smashed potatoes.

    We had a pleasant brunch before a show at Fox Theater. The menu is creative and varied. We both enjoyed our egg dishes. My husband ordered very soft poached eggs, but his came identical to my medium ones. This is not a big problem as the eggs were good.
